Help Please - Car Won't Start

[belo]

Hey fellas,

Last week I took my car (32 GTR) for a cruise. When I returned home, I turned it off at the bottom of my driveway so it doesnt wake everyone up while i open the garage. I started it and drove half way into my garage and turned it off as i was going to push it in so i wouldnt wake my neighbours up. after failing to push it in, i tried starting it again however it wouldnt start for some unknown reason. Anywho i ended up pushing it in.

The next morning i tried starting it but it still wouldnt start. I realised that my fuel pump wasnt priming for the amount of time it usually primed for. So i thought it was the battery.

I went and put a brand new battery with a higher cranking power in but it still doesnt want to fire up.

All the lights work, the fuel pump now primes for the right time, i have checked the plugs and made sure the coils were plugged in and the clip on the back of the coil cover, but it still just doesnt want to fire up.

Has anyone came across this problem with theyre car or might know what is causing it?

And i have searched but found no other hints as to what it might be.

Thanks for your help

explain "doesn't fire up"

when you turn the key..

does the engine turn?

does it just click?

have you tried to clutch start it?

The motor just cranked/turning over, but didnt fire up/turn on..

Anyways.. I got it all fixed today.. Took it to a auto elec and he said that the fuel pump wasn't getting enough power from the battery or something (I have a bigger fuel pump).

Easy fix but i wasn't happy with the bill

hmmm...very common issue - there is a thread explaining the "fuel pump direct feed" modification in the DIY section. Mine also failed without warning

Yeah... I just found the thread now

Would have saved myself alot of money.. Ohh well, they joys of having a GTR with big twin fuel pumps
